I took a train for Dublin at the dawning of the day
As thousands on the platform stood United in their faith
We journeyed for the glory of memories in the sun
And we sang the Offaly Rover like in times when I was young
Singing Uibh Fhaili, Uibh Fhaili
Woo Hoo Hoo
Woo Hoo Hoo
Uibh Fhaili rang around Croke Park like in days gone past
And the hats and flags and headbands they were out again at last
Shane Lowry he was dancing like it was 1982
And you could hear the Offaly Rover roar from Birr to Timbuktu
Oh he rips apart defences, he moves just like a bullet
His name is Cormac Egan, he's got the country's finest mullet
Keith O'Neill got on the ball and he took off like a jet
He let it out to young Jack Bryant and he stuck it in the net
We carried Declan Kelly through the streets of Tullamore
And they sang the Offaly Rover for the days that lie in store
For Furlongs, Tynan's and Cullens the county's finest sons
So we'll sing The Offaly Rover for the Boys of 21
For Hyland, Pearson and O'Toole
Brazil, Egan and Flynn
For Keenan Martin, Dolan and Donoghue
Dempsey and Keelaghan
So we'll toast our Offaly hero's from the heather, hill and glen
And we'll sing the Offaly rover for the boys of 21!
